Congratulations to the College’s Public Speaking team who have secured a place in the regional heat of the prestigious English Speaking Union (ESU) Churchill Public Speaking Contest. Held on Saturday 26th January at the Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral.

A wonderful event, where words flowed, imagination took flight and opinions boldly expressed.

Our Team were, Chair: Matthew Brough, Speaker Ciara Miller and Questioner Jake Cliff. Team Reserve: Joseph Roberts.

Added to this honour, Matthew Brough was awarded the “BEST CHAIR” prize for the event.
